EXT. CENTRAL CITY MAGLEV PLATFORM – EVENING

The station roars with rush‑hour chaos: drones unloading crates, Operator commuters flashing datasheets, Labor bots shoving to make the next train. Jason pushes through with practiced indifference, cradling a plain cardboard bag.

JASON (V.O.)
“Same sardine can, new headache. One day I’ll invent personal teleporters and retire rich.”

Doors hiss. He boards, finds a pole, locks his boots. Two Operator bots eye his grease‑stained armor, scoot three steps away. He just smirks.

JASON (under breath)
“Yeah, I’m the scary one. I only saved your firewall yesterday.”

INT. MAGLEV CAR – CONTINUOUS

Neon ads flicker above: “VISION TECH LEGACY EXPO—Relive the Past!” Jason ignores them, focused on the bag in his hand. He peeks inside: two identical no‑brand texter handsets—bare‑bones comm devices, plastisteel shells, cheap as oil rations.*

JASON (V.O.)
“All I needed was a new phone. But no— now I’m caretaker to two walking war crimes with the social skills of caffeinated pigeons.”

Flashback overlay: the electronics shop earlier—aisles of shiny, overpriced datapads. Jason at the bargain bin, price‑tagging the only models under twenty cred‑cores.

SHOP CLERK (echo)
“These come with a half‑cycle warranty and minimal exploding risk!”

JASON (echo)
“Perfect. I’ll take two.”

Back to the train. Jason grips the pole as the Maglev jolts, eyes tired but amused.

JASON (to himself)
“Hope they like monochrome screens. And 2G reception.”

A trio of cadets from earlier board another car; one spots him, waves timidly through the glass. Jason gives a small salute back, tries not to look like a role model.

JASON (V.O.)
“At least paperwork is done. Just need to survive the commute, dodge the landlord, and stop A from microwaving the cutlery.”

Maglev whooshes into the tunnel toward the residential sector. Jason pockets the phones, leans back, and allows himself a rare, tiny smile.

“Home sweet chaos cube, here I come.”

Train lights strobe past, city humming beyond.
